Finish Line Bike for Freedom! Bike across MN Minnesota!

My mom (56) and I have began a new annual trek called the Bike for Freedom. We biked across the state of MN in three days starting Friday, July 29th 2011 with two purposes: an incredible endurance challenge and to raise awareness for human trafficking in the United States.
Some facts about Human Trafficking:
***Approximately 50 percent of all victims of trafficking are children.
***Sex trafficking is the most lucrative sector of the trade in people. It involves force, fraud or coercion for the purposes of commercial sex.
***Trafficking victims are often involved in industries where they are "invisible," including domestic servitude, sweatshops, restaurant and hotel businesses, farm work, construction, begging and peddling, the sex industry and servile marriage.
***According to the Central Intelligence Agency, as many as 50,000 women and children are trafficked throughout the United States each year.
***The Twin Cities are the 13th most heavily trafficked metropolitan area in the US.

We bike because we care. Thank you for all of your support. To find more information please visit http://breakingfree.net and http://thedaretobeyou.com

Infinite Blessings!
